More than forty minutes later, Agent Neil of the Trace Examination Department walked out of the second bedroom.

"Good work."

Seeing this, Luo An, who was rummaging in the kitchen, hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake Agent Nell's chubby hand, and then asked with a serious expression:

"What is the identity of this corpse?"

A smile appeared on Agent Nair's round face:

"Judging by the fact that the corpse is very well preserved, judging by the face alone, it should be the Kenoli Martin you are talking about."

Hearing this, Luo An nodded solemnly, and then continued to ask:

"What about the exact time of death of the corpse?"

"The exact time of death will not be known until the autopsy is completed."

Hearing this, Agent Nair smiled, and then said:

"But judging by my colleague's experience, the time of death of this body should have been about three days.

As for the cause of death, there were strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse, and it can be roughly judged to be mechanical asphyxiation. ”

Speaking of which, Agent Nair pulled out a clear evidence bag from behind his buttocks, which contained a ball bearing that Roan had found in his bedroom earlier.

Seeing the roller bearing, Luo An raised his eyebrows:

"If I'm not mistaken, these things should be used to make bombs."

"That's right."

Agent Nair nodded, and then said with a serious face:

"My colleague was in the second bedroom just now, and he detected traces of the presence of some special oily substances.

Add to that the wires, ball bearings, and nails, and my colleague judged that they were trying to make a timed heat-release bomb. ”

Hearing the name of the timed heat-release bomb, Luo An raised his eyebrows.

It was one of the improvised explosive devices made by people who had shells in their previous lives to rebel against the United States.

"Okay, thank you."

Hearing Roan's words, Agent Nair smiled and waved his hand, and after agreeing to have a chance to go out for a drink together in the future, he left the house with his colleagues and the corpse.

Jingle Bell –

Just then, Roan's cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"It's me, Lacey."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy, and after a burst of closing the door, the noise was much quieter, and Lacey's voice also came:

"Half an hour ago, you asked me to come to the hospital where Martin works to investigate Martin's specific situation, and I've almost done that."

"Good work."

Luo An nodded, sat on the sofa in this room, and asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on?"

"According to several nurses who often go out with Martin to pull people, Martin has not come to work in the past few days."

Lacey's tone on the other end of the phone was very unhappy:

"The person who actually drove the ambulance was Martin's distant cousin, a middle-aged white man named Thomas."

Hearing this, Luo An's eyebrows furrowed:

"What's going on with this Thomas?"

"Those nurses said that this kind of thing is very common, and whoever has something at home can just find a relative to work for a few days, and the hospital doesn't care."

Lacey said with an ugly face:

"I looked through the surveillance footage of the hospital in the past few days, and that Thomas never took off his mask in the surveillance.

Later, I asked the nurses, and they hadn't seen Thomas take off his mask in the past few days, so they didn't know what this Thomas looked like.

The only thing that is certain is that this Thomas is not young, his voice is a little sharp, his hair is a little long, and there are a lot of gray hairs. ”

“OK。”

Write down Lacey's description on a blank piece of paper, and after a brief chat between the two parties, hang up the phone.

Seeing this, Ryder, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the door on the sofa to the side, and asked with a stern face:

"Roan, do you think this Thomas and Jaquell are the same person?"

"No, they're definitely not alone, this Thomas should be Jacquel's helper.

Moreover, this Thomas is most likely the one who did something to Evander's car and eventually caused the car accident. ”

Hearing Ryder's question, Roan shook his head and explained:

"The information taken by the CIA shows that Jacquel is 36 years old, with a strong body, and he has an inch head and no gray hair."

Speaking of this, Roan took Ryder into the kitchen, opened the door of the cabinet containing the dishes, and explained:

"I've just taken a closer look and there are two recently used dishes here.

Martin had died three days earlier, and he couldn't have used it, and the only people who used the two cutlery were Jaquel and Thomas. ”

“OK。”

Ryder also saw the scene where Roan checked the dishes just now, and then handed it over to the trace examination department and asked them to try to find fingerprints, so he continued to ask:

"What do we do next?"

"I've asked William and them to check the surveillance near this building, and it is expected that the investigation will be completed in thirty minutes, and then it is possible that Thomas and Jacquel will be there."

Luo An handed the paper in his hand to Ryder, then groaned with his chin on his back, suddenly remembered something, tilted his head to look at Ryder and asked:

"By the way, did you find a credit card in this room just now?"

“NO。”

Ryder shook his head.

"Neither the trace department nor I found it."

Seeing Ryder shaking his head, Roan's eyes lit up, and he took out his phone and called Mona.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Mona's question, Luo An didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:

"Mona, check Martin's credit card history to see if he has made any recent purchases?

I suspect it's still in the hands of Jacquill and Thomas. ”

If Jacquel had really used Martin's credit card today and yesterday, then Luo Ann and the others would have been able to find each other as quickly as possible.

“OK。”

Mona didn't hesitate and immediately began typing on the keyboard.

A few minutes later, Mona spread her hands and said into the phone:

"I'm sorry, Roan, Martin's credit card has no spending record at all for the past two days."

On the other end of the phone, hearing Mona's words, Ryder frowned, Luo An held his forehead and thought for a moment, and continued to ask:

"And before that? Did Martin buy anything wrong? ”

"What kind of thing is wrong with you?"

Mona looked at the consumption records on the computer and said with some doubts:

"This week's spending records show that Martin used his credit card to buy clothes, pants, and eat...... Wait a minute! ”

Mona was stunned as she spoke, and then shouted loudly:

"Ann, Martin's credit card spending records show that he bought a very expensive school bag three days ago!"

"But we didn't find a bag here!

And Martin is alone, without a girlfriend and no relatives, what is the use of buying a school bag? ”

Hearing Mona's words, Ryder's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Roan:

"Just now, Agent Niel of the Trace Examination Department said that the roller bearings in the second bedroom can be used to make timed exothermic bombs!

Then this bag must have been bought by Jacquel and them in order to make a bag bomb! ”

Luo An touched his chin and nodded slowly:

"Chances are!"

Hearing Luo An's affirmation, Ryder grinned widely, crossed his hands on his hips, and showed a smug smile.

"Still."

Without waiting for Ryder to be complacent for long, Roan looked up in confusion and asked a question:

"Jacquel and Thomas's actions are clearly motivated by revenge.

Then they must have a target to kill when they make a bomb, and who will that target be? ”

Ryder: "......"
